There are between half a million and a million agency workers in the UK. For many like Joanna, it' s a lifestyle choice. As a temp I' m not completely tied down by any real responsibility, so it may allow me to choose either temp work or even choose to be, a permanent personnel as well or within the same company. The UK has one of the most flexible labor markets in the world, mainly thanks to agency workers, but right now the law doesn' t give them very much protections and that' s why Europe has introduced to new proposals that would change all that. The question is, what is the price that those individuals have to pay for those opportunities? Lack of employment rights, job insecurity often economic insecurity. People find it very difficult to plan for the future to have access to mortgages if they' re an agency worker. We believe that they deserve a bit more protection, a better framework of rights. The EU directive proposes to put agency workers in temporary work on a par with permanent employees on issues such as pay, working time and holidays, but it could leave companies picking up hefty bills. Our survey also demonstrates that employers are concerned because staffing costs are going to go up. They can' t afford to pay more workers. They are likely to reduce the size of their workforce. We could see unemployment, we' re likely to see greater economic uncertainty as a result of jobs lost through the directive. If this directive is approved, it' ll still take at least a year before it' s law here in the UK, but if it does go ahead, one worry is that more employers will be put off using agency staff, leaving British business with a far less flexible workforce.
